Face palms
People have been saying Mabi is shutting down since I joined the game nearly 7 years ago. Mabi is not shutting down any time soon. It's still pulling in alot of money. There are still alot of events going on, new content gets released, Updates happen, revampes still happen (and more to come)
Also EN? Do you man EU? If so, the EU server shut down in 2012 due to EU breaking the TOS and going behind KR's back.
If anything, yes, one day the game will shut down, like all games do. This is not happening to Mabinogi anytime soon though.
My guess is that your friend read the name of G21, and their imagination ran away with them. There are folks here now that were on the EU servers so they've already been through such a thing. I think they would be more sensitive to any similar signs of that happening here. As long as Mabinogi continues to make the expect rated of return for Nexon it won't be going anywhere; so go out and buy some NX and do your part to ensure it doesn't.
........Still, I think ditching a friend who may have been misinformed is still too much given the circumstance
well yes ofc it's eventually happening (sometime in the future) and you will lose everything related to the game since it never really belonged to you
chances are you get bored of the game before that happens
